"Hongluan, you deceived me."
Yan Hongluo reclined against nine fox tails, her eyes vacant, her voice carrying a plaintive tone with a hint of crying.
This was completely different from the seduction she had imagined.
Why was she always the one being bullied?
"Hehe, Master, I, Hongluan, merely learned from you. You deceived me first."
Seeing her master's miserable state, Hongluan immediately felt balanced inside.
If her half-baked master hadn't bewitched her into becoming a bad woman, she wouldn't have been bullied to the point of sobbing.
If only she had known more, would she have been so mysteriously confident?
Tsk, truly a blind and confident stupid fox.
Without the true Yan Hongluo supporting her all the way, Yaoyao, this little fox, would have long been skinned and devoured clean.
That's right, Hongluan knew the secret of Yan Hongluo's dual souls in one body.
She even knew that the fox spirit wasn't named Yan Hongluo at all, but Yaoyao.
The reason for using Yan Hongluo's name was because Yaoyao was too cowardly—truly cowardly as a mouse. The slightest disturbance could scare her half to death.
And Yan Hongluo was an Immortal Emperor who cultivated the demonic path, founded the Xuan Yue Empire, made the nine heavens submit, could kill Immortal Kings with a snap of her fingers, make the nine heavens tremble with a stomp, and create worlds with a single thought—a supreme existence.
Her name alone could frighten away ten thousand immortals, making it perfect for boosting courage.
When Hongluo possessed her body, Yaoyao had no fear.
Once she shed Hongluo's exterior, Yaoyao would immediately reveal her true nature—cowardly as a mouse.
But this was also the fox's natural instinct, born this way.
"I..."
Yaoyao's lips trembled, her eyes like those of a resentful woman in deep seclusion.
"Hongluo sister, you deceived me..." she silently recited in her heart.
"..." Yan Hongluo.
She didn't know either.
As a demonic Immortal Emperor, how could she study such trivial knowledge?
She had only heard it through rumors.
Hearing them speak so seriously, she had believed it.
"Yaoyao..."
"No, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die..."
Hearing Gu Qing's gentle voice, Yaoyao shuddered in fright, her nine fluffy fox tails wrapping around her, rolling into a large furry ball.
"..."
Gu Qing's smile froze.
Was he that scary?
He wasn't some man-eating beast.
"Get up, I won't bully you," Gu Qing said softly.
"Really?"
Yaoyao's fox tail opened a crack, revealing black and white, clear and innocent eyes.
"Really!" Gu Qing complained internally.
Who could have imagined that a powerful expert at the Divine Fire realm with such queenly aura could be so cowardly?
If they hadn't deeply communicated and understood each other's depths, Gu Qing would never have believed it.
"I don't believe you."
Yaoyao didn't believe him, and her fluffy tail immediately closed again.
In these three days and nights, Gu Qing had said this to her countless times.
But how many times had Gu Qing kept his word?
None, not even once.
Gu Qing couldn't possibly deceive her again.
"Hongluo senior, please come out." Gu Qing's eyelid twitched, and he had to call out Yan Hongluo.
"Look at what you've done."
In the Purple Palace soul hall, Yan Hongluo glared fiercely at Yaoyao—the useless stupid fox.
Gu Qing hadn't even asked anything yet, and Yaoyao had voluntarily revealed all her secrets.
And her purpose was merely to have Yan Hongluo come out to save the situation.
She, Yan Hongluo, had killed countless people throughout her life and committed every evil deed possible. Meeting Yaoyao was her retribution.
"I... I was in so much pain then, I couldn't help it, so I..."
"Shut up!"
"Oh."
Yaoyao responded aggrievedly. Hadn't she ended up in this state because Yan Hongluo deceived her?
Blaming her when things went wrong—what kind of behavior was that?
"Now, immediately, right now... put on your clothes and go out with Gu Qing."
Yan Hongluo's voice was majestic and domineering, like a peerless emperor issuing commands, making Yaoyao involuntarily shudder and hurriedly comply.
Gu Qing, seeing her aggrieved expression, knew this was definitely Yaoyao herself.
Her delicate face, small enough to fit in a palm, seemed all scrunched up.
A pair of clear, innocent fox eyes filled with grievance.
The moment she accidentally looked up and met Gu Qing's gaze, her shoulders trembled, and her face went pale.
"Phew!"
Gu Qing took a deep breath, his tone filled with respect: "Hongluo senior, you've finally come out."
Hearing this, Yaoyao's eyes brightened.
Gu Qing actually hadn't recognized her—this was wonderful.
Yaoyao composed herself, gave a soft "mm," raised her head and chest, her expression indifferent, her every gesture exuding regal bearing.
Acting quite well... Gu Qing secretly laughed, but on the surface maintained a serious expression: "Lin Xuan has been waiting outside the cave dwelling until now. It seems he won't stop until he achieves his goal."
"I plan to eliminate him. What does Hongluo senior think?"
"Agree to him," Yan Hongluo spoke, her tone carrying an unquestionable authority.
What bullshit life-saving grace.
Did he think she was dead?
Lin Xuan had merely helped out, and within two days, she had saved Lin Xuan once.
If anyone owed anything, it was Lin Xuan who owed them.
Yaoyao, this coward, had actually acknowledged the life-saving debt and given Lin Xuan numerous techniques and treasures—it was enough to make her die of anger.
She had been displeased with Lin Xuan for a long time.
Besides, even if it truly was a life-saving grace, so what?
As a giant of the demonic path, she had committed countless acts of ingratitude. In her left hand she held destruction, in her right hand creation—she acted entirely according to her mood throughout her life.
"Don't forget, you're already his woman. You must be faithful to the end. If you don't kill Lin Xuan, are you going to wait for Lin Xuan to kill your man?"
Seeing Yaoyao hesitate, Yan Hongluo immediately added.
Yaoyao was raised by her, from an ignorant little fox eating grass to her current Divine Fire realm cultivation.
She knew Yaoyao's nature better than anyone.
Sure enough, hearing this, Yaoyao was instantly handled, swallowing the words at her lips and simply saying "Fine."
Gu Qing's eyes flickered, and he nodded without showing any change: "Then let's go meet Lin Xuan."
As he spoke, Gu Qing once again placed a curse on Lin Xuan.
He wanted to see if Lin Xuan's system could infinitely remove curses.
